Background  Transmission of antimicrobial resistant and virulent  Escherichia coli  ( E. coli ) from animal to human has been considered as a public health concern. This study aimed to determine the phylogenetic background and prevalence of diarrheagenic  E. coli  and antimicrobial resistance in healthy riding-horses in Iran. In this research, the genes related to six main pathotypes of  E. coli  were screened. Also, genotypic and phenotypic antimicrobial resistance against commonly used antibiotics were studied, then phylo-grouping was performed on all the isolates.    Results  Out of 65 analyzed isolates, 29.23 % ( n  = 19) were determined as STEC and 6.15 % ( n  = 4) as potential EPEC. The most prevalent antimicrobial resistance phenotypes were against amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (46.2 %) and ceftriaxone (38.5 %).  bla   TEM   was the most detected resistance gene (98.4 %) among the isolates and 26.15 % of the  E. coli  isolates were determined as multi-drug resistant (MDR). Three phylo-types including B1 (76.92 %), A (13.85 %) and D (3.08 %) were detected among the isolates.    Conclusions  Due to the close interaction of horses and humans, these findings would place emphasis on the pathogenic and zoonotic potential of the equine strains and may help to design antimicrobial resistance stewardship programs to control the dissemination of virulent and multi-drug resistant  E. coli  strains in the community.
